What a Time

People formerly had, trying to swallow
the old-fashioned pill with its film of
magnesia vainly Disgusting its bitter
ness and what contrast to Ayers
pills. that have been well called "med-
ieated sugar-plums" - the only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at a dose. But the
directions are plain and should be
strictly followed.
j. T. Teller, NJ. D., of Chittenango,
N. Y, expresses exactly what hundreds
have written at greater length. He
says: layers Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all the
Pills formerly popular here, and think
it must be long before any other can
be made that will at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money"
"Safe, pleasant, and certain in
their action" is the concise testimony
of DR.. George e. Walker, of Martins
vile, Virginia.

arations. The public having once used
them, will have no others. = Berry,

REPuLslvE CANNES.
The Disposition, Habits and Color OF the
Dogs OF constsn tinopis.


Dogs OF Constsn tinople.
A description Of Constantinople
would be very incomplete that passed
over its dogs in silence. They are poor
creatures, with reddish hair. pointed
ears, thin TANKS. medium-sized, and
wild. In that they never attach them
selves to man, but they are, however,
gentle and inoffensive. They belong
to the wolf-dog species, and change
their color twice year. Always living
outdoors and sleeping under the open
sky. they receive from nature, their
only master. a summer garb and win
ter garb. The first consists of light
coat OF hair, which is very thin and Of
dirty yellow color; the second is
thick, more silky and of dark gray
color. While they are shedding their
coats, which occurs In spring and au-
tumn, their hair falls of in matted
locks. This leaves their skin bare in
places, making broad black spots,
which are repulsive.
They never 60 into house and never
allow themselves to be drawn to one
by either carssses or kind words; not
even by tid-bits, which they eat, never
theless, with avidity. when thrown to
them on the street, They sleep 60 cd
deal, especially in times of scarcity.
which for them is the normal condition
of things. Lying down all curled up
on the sidewalks or on tho rough pave
ments, they do not allow themselves to
be disturbed by threats or noise, or by
the crowd; they get up only when they
see a toe that is going to strike them. or
carriage that is going to run over
their bodies. In these cases they move
away slowly and lie down little. far
ther away.
The Turks never injure them, and,
lazy as they are, condescend to turn to
one side little in order not to disturb
them. The Armenians, Bulgarians and
Westerners have good deal Of SYM
pathy for them, never maltreat them
and often throw them food. The
Perotes and Greeks like to stone them
to death, crush their bodies and stab
them with sharp sticks. The poor
creatures utter cries so prolonged and
dismal that they pierce ones he art as
we'll as ears.
The dogs of Constantinople and its
outskirts, which form population of
more than hundred thousand, appear
to divide the streets of the city among
themselves. The hairy occupants of
one quarter never allow those of an
other to enter their domain. When a
dog, driven by hunger or thirst, at
tempts to pass the limits of its street
to seek its fortune elsewhere, it is
repellcd by concert of howls ac-
companied by good deal of biting.
All the dogs of one quarter are united
for the defense Of that quarter. At the
first howl announcing an invader they
all run, and often they let the unfor-
tunate alone only after they have killed
il.
The food Of rowing dogs, when they
find any, is not, we may believe, either
varied or dainty; it is the waste scraps
from cooking, constitutes choice but
rare food for them; it consists especially
of filthy things of all kinds, among
which figures most prominently the
excrement of passing horses, camels
and cattle. CosuODOlitdn.

- THE GERMAN THRONE.
No Danger OF Its Passing Out OF the Reign
ing Branch of tho Hohenzolierns.

No Danger OF Its Passing Out Of the Reign
ing Branch OF tho Hohenzolierns.
1t is stated, apparently on very good
authority, that there is little or no
chance that Prince Frederick William,
of Germany, the heir-apparent to the
German throne, can recover from his
present illness. His malady is said to
be cancer of the throat-the same dis
ease which proved fatal In the case of
General Grant, and which has bafficd
medical skill to check its malignant
and deadly progress. Prof Morrcll
Mckenzie, of England, and Prof. Vir-
chow, of Germany, who have been
called in to examine the condition of
the royal sufferer, have reported him
beyond the power of medical or sur
gical aid, and have warned his family
that he can not live long. His demise
would cause profound political scnsa-
ton in Europe, where it has been cx-
pccted that, as soon as Frederick Will
liam should succeed his father, he would
reverse the Bismarckian policy and
cultivate the friendship of the Powers
more. 1t Is well known that the heir
apparent bears no love to the Iron
Chancellor, and that the latter neve,
cared much about the Prince.
Should the latter pass away before
the death of his father, Prince Frcder-
lex William, the eldest son Of the
Grown Prince, and the grandson Of
Queen Victoria, would become Emper.
or. He is now in his twenty-ninth year
He was married in 1881 and has foul
sons, the eldest of whom (also named
Frederick William) is now i'm his sixth
year. There is little danger. that the
succession to the throne will pass out
of the rcigning branch of the house of
Hohenzollern.
Prince Frederick William, the grand.
son--best known, perhaps, as Prince
Williams a great favorite with the
aged Emperor. He is dashing, sol
dierly young fellow. full of the spirit of
adventure. Before hts marriage his
daredevil ways got him into many
scrape. He is said to be not unlike his
maternal uncle, the Prince of Wales, in
many respects.
Prince William is not only favorite
with the Emperor but with Bismarck as
well. Being twenty-ninc years of age
and the father of an interesting family
of four boys, it may be presumed that
he has sown his wild oats, and will be
equal to the imperial responsibilities,
when his grandfather, now in his nine
ty-first year. is called away. His wife
